Your system should not be locking up. This sounds like a hardware issue; I haven't experienced system hangs when apps hang at all (though there is some pretty lousy behavior in Lion that can crop up - autosave state can sometimes restore the crashed state, so your app just subsequently crashes over and over again without removing some files down your Library directory).
I would say software installation on Linux distributions is actually WORSE now than it used to be. If you stick to your distro's repos, you're fine - unless you want a package that's not IN your distro's repos - say, OpenStack running on CentOS; oh, sure, they've got a repo they publish for OpenStack (only its location is documented INCORRECTLY in the manual). So go ahead and "yum install -y openstack-nova openstack-glance openstack-swift" - but now head through the documentation and start trying to follow their examples. Oh, euca tools to manage it? No sweat, it's included in the packages - but wait - not all of them.
This is one example of many, many, many. Your supposed advantage of utilizing libraries breaks down when you come across a package that requires a downrev version - or if you use Python 2.6 frameworks on CentOS 5. It becomes a massive PITA pulling all the strings to get to basic functionality. Yes, it's all out there, you can read the source, you can change it and submit your git clone to source mainteners - but really. WTF should I have to, when I'm just trying to use the functionality that is supposedly offered?
Per dress code - depends upon where you're working. If you're a bank or generally on the East Coast, I've noticed a bit more dress-up. West coast, more mellow. That whole big in-between section? Depends on where you're at; if you're doing gov work programming, button shirts are usually the informal uniform.
Yes, yes - immutable in that they are aggregated on limited access centralized logging machines, yes (reviewed on-going by our dedicated security team; spot-verified through various framework compliance auditors), yes.
Working at a cloud vendor, I can tell you that using privileged access to view information outside of one's job duties is a firing offense in our shop. We take it very seriously.
Had to really hunt for this; Tepco has not officially declared cold shutdown, though apparently, temperatures are well below cold shutdown: http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/RS_Driving_on_with_Fukushima_roadmap_1711111.html
I'm not ex-military, but I work with a bunch of people who either are in the services or have been; as in many things, there is much variability. I've worked with some extremely competent people, and some that are just there to collect a check. I've worked with specialists who can look at a hexdump and decode frame, packet, protocol, and payload - but who couldn't write SQL to save their lives (they may indeed have the ability to learn that). I've worked with some who give lip service to the rules when "The Man" is looking, but casually flaunt 'em when no one's looking.
If I had to generalize, I'd say more often than not that ex-military are courteous, highly disciplined, buttoned-down in terms of outward passion, extremely opinionated, and stress resistant. All other matters tend to follow standard distribution curves.
[note: linux puts bread on my table and has for 10+ years and I've been soaking in it since the early 90s] What I see in Linux is not good; the problem is ironically the bit often touted as its success: freedom and flexibility.
IF the linux community would like to see mainstream adoption (it's not clear that it does), then a lot has to change; distros have to die and die hard. The multitude of desktops and package managers (RPM/YUM versus APT) need to die. There needs to be ONE way of doing things. Linux is often touted on the server side, and deservedly so. Unfortunately, increasingly, more and more of the server applications are being created non-native, in shit like Java. Yay, it works on any compliant JVM! So why does that JVM have to be running on Linux? There are fewer and fewer native server applications. It's all Java or some stupid shit horked up in Python or Ruby or PHP. There's nothing that inherently drives any of those applications to Linux.
Consider OpenStack; great, cloud-controller software, abstract means of firing up and provisioning VMs, storage, and networking. If you're running on Ubuntu - hey, super, first-class citizen. If RedHat/Fedora/CentOS - fuggedaboutit. nova works well-enough in diablo, RPM packages out there. Glance and Swift? Good luck. I'm sure you can get it working, despite shitty documentation that barely admits other distros besides Ubuntu even exist. But why the hell should I have to fight these battles every time I want to install anything new? It's a disaster that mirrors exactly the sort of diversification issues that helped put a spike in commercial Unices of the 90s.
There's no way Linux will "die", it's still a great OS on its own merits and the price is definitely right. Hobbyists and hackers will always run it. Just don't expect that it'll ever become mainstream without brutal community choices. http://xkcd.com/927/
It's not your call. You exist to enact the policy the execs decide are necessary for running the business. In a perfect world, your input particularly around risk management would be used to create those policies.
If that means running Commodore 64s - suck it up and be the expert.
Yup, agreed. I figure you probably were being sarcastic, but yeah: we do pay for DoD research and data, and we certainly should be able to see that. Too much is classified that doesn't need to be, and that which does need to be classified is classified for too long.
Well... in the case of my daughter, moderate fever (102, 103 - nothing really extreme) was several times accompanied by febrile seizures. They're not that uncommon in children under 5.
I'm guessing it was probably weight considerations. The whole things looks pretty flimsy, even though it's really impressive the articulation the builder achieved.

Absolutely right. NBC should aspire to be more than "Fox News for Liberals". It's a reprehensible edit.
I was 6' when I was 13. Was I a "kid"?
It seems to be evolutionary work that will likely strengthen magnetic containment fusion (eg Tokamak/ITER) research.
As someone mentioned - Firehose.

You're probably already soaking in it.
My ex took her anatomy class from a board-certified doctor who taught (AT the cadavers!) that men have one less rib than women.
"What do they call the person who graduates last in their medical school?"
"Doctor."

After you've standardized them - what's the department to do? Can't cost that much to operate an atomic clock.

In fact, it does look that way. Chrome shows character encoding as UTF-8.
